Abstract:Fumed oak wood is valuable and one of the most environmentally friendly natural materials. As a result of a long stay of wood in flowing river water and in contact with bottom soil without air access, an individual process of staining of each trunk occurs. It consists in changing the chemical composition of the wood. The wood acquires increased strength and a beautiful color scheme. It is established that the degree of coloring of fumed oak wood depends on the amount of iron oxides in it (Fe2O3). There are in… Show more
“…The study of physical and mechanical characteristics of bog oak at the age of 100-150 years has shown that these indicators completely coincide with those previously described [15][16][17]. Therefore, the main attention was paid to the physical and mechanical properties of bog oak with an age of 2500-3000 years.…”

“…It should be noted that shrinkage in bog oak (at the age of 2500-3000 years) in both directions is less than in natural one. And shrinkage in bog oak at the age of 100-150 years is much more according to [16,17].…”
The stocks of bog oak taken from the bottom of reservoirs are increasingly used to preserve growing valuable species of wood, primarily oak. English oak (Quercus pedunculata Ehrh.) is a hard-drying species. Drying modes of oak boards have been well developed for both convection and microwave drying. The interest in bog oak, rose out from water bodies, sharply increased, but it turned out to be impossible to dry it using known methods other than microwave drying. Cracking defects are 70% at a thickness of 30 mm and 100% at a cross section of 60 mm. The article analyzes the results of bog oak drying in laboratory-type microwave chambers. The distance between magnetrons was 0.5 m, and a length of boards was 1.2 m. A semicommercial plant with a loading volume of 2 m3 and total power of 30 kW was used. Total drying time for boards with a total loading volume of 0.2 m3 was from 3 to 5 days. Cracking defects reduced to 20% for a thickness of 30 mm and to 32% for a thickness of 60 mm (with additional treatment by 40% carbamide solution). Board warping was not noticed.
